There's an unanswered question on Stack Overflow about D. Anyone cares to
write a response?
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/289087/applications-development-with-d-language
"""
For those who had developed applications with D,
* which libraries did you use to build your application?
* those libraries were good documented?
* did you use Tango?
* do you feel that D is ready to build big applications?
* which IDE did you use? Descent maybe?
Thanks in advance. Jonathan.

BTW, this isn't old, only 22 hours old. (I checked this time)

That's a friend of mine, he studies with me and we worked together some
months.
I mentioned D to him a couple of times, but it surprised me to find his
question in stackoverflow, so I asked him what he was trying to do. He said:
"It's an application that will do a lot of numeric calculations. C++
gives me headaches because of all of it's errors and because there are
so many exceptions in the syntax rules for someone that programs in
Java. D would be a good substitute assuming it has a similar
performance, but if I use D I think I won't find libraries, or find out
that the community has little support. This is reasonable, it's a
smaller community than what it is in Java or C++."
So I asked him which libraries he needs, and he replied:
"I would need to read different sound file formats, at least the
well-known ones. I didn't search it, but I think it would be hard to
find that. Also for image treatment, is there such thing in D? And
multithreading support?
Can you interface with C code? It would be cool if you could interface
with C++ code, I think every person that currently develops in C++ could
seriosly think about switching to D"
I know some of the answers, but I'm sure the community can answer in a
better way all of these questions.
(Also note that he knows C++, but he programs in Java, and he's trying
to find something close to the machine, fast, that has OOP support and
all the goodies of a higher level language... that's the same thing I'm
looking for... so targeting D just towards any kind of programmer
instead of just C++ programmers is good)

In case I wasn't clear enough, this chat I had with him was after he
posted the question in stackoverflow, so he's still waiting an answer
from me. :-)
